Their obvious association with the Middle

Now put a different paint job on it, register it in the US, but ownership by way of some overseas entity and I see that as a possibility. Even poaching International flying like New York-London is going to require the behind the door political intrigue that some here fear. Support your unions PAC. If your union doesn't lobby congress, or you don't work for a unionized airline, rattle your own sword with your congressional delegation.
